On the Justice Department potentially prosecuting the former president or his inner circle for Jan. 6, GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger tells JonKarl: 'I certainly think there's evidence of crimes and I think it goes all the way up to Donald Trump.'
When pressed by Karl about the optics of the Justice Department investigating a former president and potential future candidate, Kinzinger said he is more concerned about the precedent that would be set if Trump is not charged.
"If there is evidence that this happened from a judicial perspective, if there is the ability to move forward on prosecuting and you don't, you basically set the floor for future behavior by any president," he added. "And I don't think a democracy can survive that." Rep.
